War legacy- Introduction
During the Vietnam War, the use of Agent Orange by the United States affected the health of up to 3 million Vietnamese people. There were at least 150,000 cases of birth defects. The contamination of plants and land covered an area of 3.06 million hectares, and these effects continue to this day.
Visual elements were distilled from the process of investigating the severe ecological destruction caused by wartime activities for use in illustration creation.
Metaphorical character design is used to criticize and satirize the roles of the United States and the U.S. Forestry Service in the activities of the war. At the same time, attempts were made to break away from traditional illustration by combining it with stage design and conveying the cruel and absurd history and its impact in different ways.
